The Essentials of Same-Sex Relationships
Homosexual men practice a wide array of male-to-male sexual activities — many of them identical to heterosexual activities. Gay sexual practices are listed below in order of their safety, because of the traumatic effect that HIV/AIDS has had on the gay community.
HIV/AIDS is a major concern for both gays and straights. Although the older gay population (which has seen so many of its members suffer and die) has adopted safer sex practices, young gay men are still not careful by practicing safe sex.
Here's a look at some gay male practices:
Voyeurism, the safest gay activity. Voyeurs watch other people have sex. This activity may be compared to straight men going to topless clubs; although, because of the atmosphere of the gay bar and bath scene, masturbation more likely accompanies voyeurism among homosexuals.
Group masturbation is another common practice in certain homosexual communities. This may either be solo masturbation done in the presence of others, or mutual masturbation, which is sometimes done in circle jerks where one man masturbates the next, who masturbates the next, and so on. Because of the dangers of AIDS, most major cities have developed J/O Clubs (the J/O stands for “jerk off” or “jack off”), which are places where gay men may masturbate together. These clubs usually have strict rules against other, dangerous forms of sex.
Frottage is the practice of two men rubbing their bodies against each other, usually until climax. This is considered a safe form of sexual activity.
Fellatio, oral-penile sex, is considered to be the most common form of sex between men.
Because the risks of transmitting an STD are greater if one person ejaculates into the mouth of the other, ejaculating in the mouth is often avoided. Because of the leak of Cowper’s fluid, however, oral sex still has some danger to it unless the person on whom fellatio is being performed wears a condom. Kissing other body parts includes little risk, except for anal kissing, or rimming, from which many STDs can be passed on.
Penile-anal sex, the most risky form of gay male sex. This is when one man inserts his penis into the anus of his partner and thrusts until he achieves orgasm. The person whose anus is being penetrated (the bottom) may also find pleasure from having his prostate and rectum stimulated in this manner. The transmission of STDs is at its highest during anal sex because the ejaculate can contain the viruses. Because the rectal lining is often torn or abraded during this sexual practice, the viruses then gain easy access to the bloodstream.
The use of condoms is a must for safer penile-anal sex; although, because of the amount of physical activity, condoms are more likely to break during anal sex than during vaginal sex. So, even with a condom, anal sex remains a risky activity.
Perhaps you're curious about your own sexual identity, or perhaps you're worried about a family member or friend who has just come out. Regardless of why you want to know what gay men do, it’s important to remember that all sexual orientations can lead to relationships. And, in a gay relationship, the feelings of love and caring can be as strong as in any heterosexual relationship.
